A habeas corpus hearing was held by
Associate Judges Murphy and McHenry on
Saturday last in the case of ID. NJ. Kinter'
Nearly year ago Mr., Kinter was arrested
on a warrant issued by G. W. Hirleman
Esq Of Benton, charging him with catch
ing trout out OF season. When taken be-
fore the Justice there was no hearing, but
the Justices docket shows that he allowed
the defendant to go with the understanding
that he would appear when wanted. Kin
ter was next day brought before the justice
on the same warrant, and claimed that his
arrest was illegal as the warrant had been
returned and was therefore dead. The
justice had hearing and under the testi-
mony of witnesses found the defendant
guilty of having twenty trout in his pos
session on July 10, 1886 and fined him $500
under the act OF 1878. AS this fine was
not paid, after waiting several months the
Justice issued mttmus committing the
defendant TO Jail, and then writ OF habeas
corpus was taken out. E. II. & X. h

peculiar prey. A lady had the bad luck to

fastening. She rang for mes senger, and
sat down to write a note that the boy could
mail on his way TO the jeweller. AS she
was directing the envelope the boy entered,
Take that" she said, extending the pin
and never looking up, as she finished the
superscription, intending to add, "to the
jewellers at the corner and wait for it."
But the small tough, not much higher
than the table, broke in before she could
finish her sentence, with; How much do
you want to get on it 7"
The astonished lady looked at the little
rufiian in amazement. GLOW much do
want to get on it ?" she repeated.
"Yes; you wants me to pound it, don't

"Pound it9 Mercy no. just stepped

Dying words.
BY JOHN SUTTON

How precious are the dying words,
That fall from those, TO US so dear,
A consolation IL Affords,
When we those dying words can hear,
IL may be but brief good by,
A blessing, or the briefest prayer,
Or, pointing to their home on high,
A solemn charge TO meet them there.
Sometimes they speak In accents low,
In faintest whispers Of the breath,
Their meaning, then, we seek TO know,
Before the lips are sealed In Death.
Or II the Joys OF hope expressed,
In words OF no uncertainty,
Before the body sinks TO rest,
We hear the shout OF victory.
or, II the life has been mispent,
o. how we wish a single word,
To tell us that they did repent
And found the mercy OF the lord.
or, II between us there was hate,
That should be settled while we live,
How good to know it's not too late,
TO be forgiven, or forgive.
Death comes, sometimes, 20 unannounced,
As quickly as the ligntnings play,
without single word pronounced,
our dearest friends are called away.
Conceal the sorrow as we may,
A bitter grief, the thought affords,
That " hen our loved ones pass away,
They leave for usn no dying words.
Iuna
